IMPACTFUL ARTWORK
DOs
Allow art to breathe. There is something very beautiful about hanging a small, singular piece on a large expanse of wall.
Install a picture rail system, if you like to move art around – they look particularly smart.
Pay attention to framing. Contemporary canvas pieces look wonderful in a sleek tray frame with a shadow gap. A traditional frame with a gilt slip adds finesse.
Go with what you love but do ask professionals if you need to – a trusted gallery owner or picture framer will be able to help.
DON’Ts
Resist charging ahead. Arrange groupings on the floor in the space you are considering to get an idea of what scale and positioning works.
Steer clear of painted frames; they often just look unfinished. Even if the frame is narrow, always consider a gilt or lacquer finish; it’s what the painting deserves.
